Consent

You have recently started asking for consent to collect data, to accept is simple one button click, to refuse is a long winded option to opt out of each item. I do not have a problem with essential collection to use the app, but third party vendors no. I’ve competed the consent once but it has popped up again, so I have decided not to use the app again. Shame

Keeping your mind alert !

How many ways can you make 21,
In the beginning there’s lot of ideas,
But the values of each little sum you create,
Aren't always made to make you pleased,
Obviously the highest score makes you happiest,
And the lower one a little less,
And the little ones which don’t add up quite right
Can make your game a mess!
But really, it is just a fun, try hard game,
With your plan to make you a winner,
And it keeps your mind on an active plain
Instead of getting dimmer 😃😀

Wonderful Puzzler

If you don’t know about BoyHowdy, get ready for a treat. Puzzles like this start out easy--easy and quickly get more challenging. The cost of playing is nothing. Yes.

Needs a feature

Boy Howdy makes some of the most enjoyable games out there, my favourite being Word Jewels. But unlike that game, Blackjack Jewels offers no rewards as you advance through the game. You receive one shuffle opportunity, and that's it. I would like to see the ability to earn up to 3 free jewels that can be used to shuffle the board or move a card from the board to a desired location. I'd like to see the "resume game from highest completed level" removed after that. It appears that a game can go on forever so scores in the millions show up on the leaderboard. So the competitive desire is lost when you see that you are a few million points behind the leader. I suggest using Word Jewels as the template to improve the game and it will be perfect.

Blackjack Jewels

Very addictive but keeps you alert and on your toes! Easy to learn and gives choices as to game levels you want to play. If you always click on last level played, your scores will always be saved. Scores will build forever, and if you log into Game Center, you can see where you stand on the leader board. If you are competitive, this just may be the game for you.
